WASHINGTON, Sept. g. ~lol
fishes the following respecte Sta, q
portant plan of tariff reform an " y
course of preparation by the p.
Speaker Carlisle and leading DamSA 'sA :,
at is now altogether probabla 'as tS'a .
tariff reformers will be able to rra'. na'
revenue question on the asssmbT
Congress with more than a fair cb.Il5 4
success. There will be a measure hu9 S.N ct
forth as soon as Congress conyenss
will likely have the Endorsement ..:
Administration. The President w. 10
retary of the Treasury and Speata' a' = y 20
Isle have been considering the ny ID
since Congress adjourned ,tl
it is not improbable tbs, %k,
present visit of Mr.. Carlisle - sw
President at Oak View will result ! S-es
elimination of their plan. 1t is no,.a' an
that the Speakers visit to Washingto' JIM
this time was expressly for the purno' ee
consulting with the President uno' r' y,
subject. 1t is expected at the Trsa." lol
Department that Secretary Fa,oss ml
who is now on his vacation, will soo' ire
turn to Washington. 1t is probabla a yo
he comes to meet the President and \ 'aI
Carlisle. The result of the AIleD,oS y
convention is quite satisfactory h a up
tariff reformers, since it shows A. e'
the influence Of the Administrato, Ve
strong even in Pennsylvania. Tbev \. ne
pose to take advantage of ne
situation and present a plan fo, 'e
reduction of the revenues that Mr.. RAM 30 =
will find it hard toreject consistently,A,,, ~
indorsing the Allentown platform. NJ =
plan being prepared will conform str4,. ~
with the tariff resolution there ador,J 70, 70 :
as it is construed by the President. ItT.-,
abolish the tobacco tax, but leave /, IL y
whisky tax where it is, and will man ~
large reduction in the customs duties !,
necessaries of life, in accordance with 4. :
Presidents utterances on the subject. Itio
internal revenue feature is admitted =,
compromise, and will be tolerated only IL
connection with very positive reduct .br
of customs. There Will be no acknOvIa al
ment of protection. 1t is likely that th.srv
duction Of the customs will be M.
sweeping than Mr.. Randall would an, n
to, though it is hoped that the whole pas r,
can be brought together harmonious ost
But the Administration will occupy aile
and unqualified position, and it is belHhrt
that the character Of the bill and The lhrt
fuence Of the Administration will entry v
silence opposition within the party. Il, /.
forced agreement between Messrs Ranii a
and Scott at AllentwOn is signifcent an
view Of the position taken by the Pm. is
dent, and may mean that the font II
will not oppose the cOnsiderlty:
of a bill brought forth h'
the Administration according to the pG th
foreshadowed by Mr.. Breckenridge sht
Arkansas. Mr.. Scott was in Washingts
shortly before the Allentown conveHtlt t.
and talked the matter over with the ne.
ident and Secretary Fairchild Erin
Singerly conferred with the Presdz nc
likewise, it will be remembered, on g a
yacht on the Potomac. The a
ministration is fully commits Dy
to strong attitude on 5ne
tariff. While there has been ~
general conference of a large numbS AZ
men in one place there have been inP''
tant consultations between indNia y J.
leaders and the President. Mr. Mis-
Texas, who is to be chairman Of thew Su
and means committee in the next H'H0n'
is in the city, and has had a conie''l 80 30
with Mr.. Carlisle. The Bureau Of Shi :. q
tics has been called upon for fgurs - -
customs duty, to show just where Z. ~ ,
most effective reductions can be nSsa !.
and how the revenues would be anS2 ~ ~
